Development Work Begins – The pitch development work is started and the main pitch will be closed until complete. We are currently fundraising to complete these works. The first phase will see the pitch being realigned, drained and relaid with a sand-based top. It is an exciting and ambitious project which will cost in excess of €200,000 but it is urgently needed. All club members, along with past and present players are asked to support this fundraising venture. The work on Melvin Park will be starting in the next few weeks. The Committee members will get to Tullaghan, Askill, Rossinver, Glenade and Ballintrillick shortly and will be asking everyone to help make this project come true. The fundraising will involve “Make Your Mark on Melvin Park” for €100 which will represent a square of Melvin Park, entry into a draw, prizes 5x €1000, and your name on a commemorative plaque. To get your “Mark on Melvin Park” contact Spar, Kinlough or Pat at 0871787194 or Katherine at 087 287 0086 or go towww.kinloughcommunitycentre.wordpress.com
